I'd be tempted to say that setting $GIT_CWD was an ideal solution, if
Junio hadn't mentioned the possibility of cwd being the default in
1.8.0, which to me sounds much more sane than defaulting to the
repository root. Defaulting to the root has never made sense to me and
has some perfectly good built-ins to emulate if needed. I know I have at
least two scripts-which-should-be-aliases sitting around because of this
restriction.
